Chapter 54: This Boat, Those Things
The sail is made up of a large cluster of huge petals arranged neatly, so that the peculiar sail has three groups, all neatly arranged on the mast.
The flowers were working, taking a breath and spewing out in batches, working together methodically to keep the boat moving smoothly.
Natsume stood under the mast and looked up at the huge flowers that were working, and the vines that were wrapped around the mast were still friendly and loosened, and he touched the top of Natsume's head to greet him.
Natsume was taken aback by the vine that suddenly came out of nowhere, and then she realized that these vines and flowers were alive.
The vine stroked Natsume and then made a new move, poking Natsume, who was stunned, and pointing upwards when Natsume came back to his senses.
"Are you asking me to go up?" Natsume guessed as the vine meant. The vines swayed up and down to show that this was what they meant, and Natsume was a little moved, "Is it really okay?
The vine didn't answer, just stretched out a vine and wrapped it around Natsume's waist, and then another vine was woven into a basket under Natsume, lifting Natsume from the deck towards the height of the mast.
Fly over the sails of the flowers and rise straight to the top of the mast. Natsume discovered the working state of these flowers from the close contact with these huge flowers.
Natsume was very surprised, although he knew that there were always some strange creatures in Takamagahara, but it was the first time he had come into contact with them so closely.
The vine brought Natsume to the top of the mast, sat on the lookout, and specially left a vine to protect Natsume from any safety problems.
The scenery on the observatory is particularly good, and after inheriting the blood of the heavenly fox, the sensitivity of Natsume's five senses has increased significantly, and the scenery within a radius of five miles above the observatory can be seen.
Accompanied by the fragrance of the flower sails, Natsume sat on the observation deck with the street lamp made of stars on his head and quietly enjoyed the beautiful scenery.
This kind of scenery can no longer be described in words, the boat sails on a jade belt studded with diamonds, as if you can still hear the sound of the waves of the Tianhe River, blowing the oncoming wind, it is really a supreme enjoyment.
Accompanying the ship are the stars, which can be seen everywhere overhead, under the boat, and close at hand. Natsume thought so, and did so, holding a bright star past him in both hands, and carefully holding it up to a place parallel to his gaze to carefully examine it.
The star is not big, nor is it a spherical shape without temperature, but such a small star emits a huge light that illuminates the surrounding space.
Natsume couldn't help but gently caress the stone-like star, and it was still a cold temperature in his hand, but this temperature was not biting cold, but would become warm because of the temperature of his palm. The touch felt by the fingers is also as uneven as the stone, there is nothing special, Natsume is a little disappointed by this, it turns out that the stars in the sky and the stones on the ground are actually not much different.
"What's wrong?" Inari sat down next to Natsume at some point.
Natsume said what was in his heart, "Dad, why do you say that the stars in the sky are no different from the stones on the ground?" and handed the stars in the palm of his hand to Inari.
"Natsume, in fact, the stars and stones are the same, and the stars are essentially the same as the stones. The stars are also stones, but there are more things that the stones do not have and the relationship in the sky, because it is difficult for people to contact the stars, so they give them a lot of subjective emotional color, and some of the good wishes that cannot be realized in the heart are pinned on the beautiful stars that cannot be reached, and these beautiful legends are passed down from generation to generation, so as to mystify the stars. ”
While explaining Natsume's inner questions to Natsume, Inari took the cup made of two flower bones handed by the flower sail vine, and opened the slightly open petals of the flower bones to reveal the amber liquid inside and handed it to Natsume. "Huafan invites you to drink, this is its own honey tea, taste it and see how it tastes!" The vine that handed the honey tea did not leave but waited on the side, Natsume imagined that if it had a pair of round eyes, it would now look at itself wet, wanting to get his own praise.
"Hua Fan, an employee of this ship, has been working on the ship for many years and is a veteran employee here. Usually I pay it with the essence of divine power, and it works for me. It provided the main power to the ship, and the whole ship was at its command. Inari tasted the nectar of this year's new brew and introduced the sails of one of the members of the ship to Natsume.
"These three sails are triplets, and they have been serving this ship since the generation of their great-great-grandfather, and they have been sailing on the Tianhe River for more than a thousand years. It can be said that there is no existence in the entire High Heaven Plain who is more familiar with the Tianhe route than them. ”
"Flower sails, as the name suggests, have a strong ability to control the wind. Because of Hua Fan's gentle personality, the combat power of this wind control battle is not the top in Takamagahara. But its ability to fine micro-operation, the endurance of the ability can reach the world's top level. ”
"The nectar that this guy brews every year has the effect of calming the nerves, warming and nourishing the spirits, consolidating the spirits, and nourishing the souls, which is a very good thing, and it is very suitable for you to taste when you are just breaking through now. Inari shook the flower bone in his hand, popularizing Takamagahara's common sense knowledge for Natsume.
"Wow! that's amazing," Natsume whispered. Hearing Natsume's admiration on the side, the vines nodded up and down in agreement.
The small mouth leaned on the side of the flower bones and took a sip of the nectar with a faint fragrance, the thick amber translucent liquid is sweet but not greasy, and it is rich in a just right sourness, which just relieves the sweet fragrance in the nectar, so that people will not be unable to drink it after a few more sips.
Natsume, who was still a child, was naturally very interested in this taste, and drank the nectar in the flower bones in a few sips. Hana Fan may also take into account that Natsume is still a child, and the nectar in a flower bone is only a few bites, so it is not good to prevent Natsume from eating too many sweets.
After eating this cup of nectar, Natsume was still a little unsatisfied, and the little nectar left in the flower bones that he didn't let go, he stretched out his tongue and licked it.
looked at the vines on the side and whispered, "Thank you, it tastes so good, it's very delicious." ”
The praised sails became excited, and the three rows of sails were in full swing, and the speed of the ship was greatly improved for a while. Several vines began to dance around Natsume, dancing excitedly in the air.
